Cooking Method for Chicken and Potatoes Tortilla

Cooking Chicken and Potatoes Tortilla is a straightforward process that’s just as rewarding as it is simple. You’ll love how the flavors meld together, creating something truly comforting. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process!

1. Preheat your oven’s broiler to high, ensuring it’s ready for that golden finish. This step is crucial as it will help the top of the Chicken and Potatoes Tortilla become beautifully browned and crispy.
2. In a large saucepan, fill it with salted water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the diced potatoes and cook until they are tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, mixing well to incorporate.
4. Next, take a large ovenproof skillet and place it over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely and bubble slightly.
5. Once melted, add the diced chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3 minutes until warmed through, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
6. Now, add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chicken. Gently mix them together, allowing the flavors to combine and the potatoes to pick up the savory notes from the chicken.
7. Take the whisked eggs and pour them over the chicken and potatoes in the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, using a spatula to gently lift the edges as it cooks, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
8. Once the eggs have set around the edges, place the skillet under the broiler. Cook until the top is nicely golden and the eggs are no longer soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
9. Once done, remove the skillet from the oven. Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing it into wedges for serving.
10. Serve your Chicken and Potatoes Tortilla warm and enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures!
